I'm very pleased with the principal and teachers at Scott Lane. They are dedicated and hard working. Since the new principal joined the school a year ago she has made major improvements.

I currently have two children attending Scott Lane and I am very dissatisfied with this school. There is no structure at this school, everything is disorganized and very chaotic. The principal is rarely around when needed and takes awhile to address parents concerns. The teachers on the other hand are wonderful. I have never had any bad experiences with my childrens teachers in the three years my children have attended. It is just sad that the principal doesn't involve herself more.

I really enjoyed attending this school as a child and I have a third generation attending now. The one thing I am disappointed in is the lack of Parent participation. Parents want better things for the school but don't want to help out. The teachers try so hard to earn money for their class field trips, they can't do it themselves. All of us need to be involved. Even if you need to take at least one day off from work to help out. They can even join the PTA! Let's get involved!

They have great ideas, follwing through is the problem! they need to do a better job of training and selecting teachers. Having a latchkey daycare on campus is the best part of the school. Offers a great diversity of children. Campus is run down do to lack of funds. A bit disorganized!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
